Unprofessional, Rude, Sarcastic

I asked a basic question about what elements were required to be included on a uniform parking ticket in New York State. Instead of answering the question, or just remaining silent and saying nothing - which for people like him is the best option - say nothing - he was sarcastic, rude, unprofessiona...l and unhelpful. He brings disrepute upon the profession of law, does not exercise due care, and cannot be trusted to act in a client's best interest. He seems to have a lot of time to waste on Avvo insulting strangers over the internet.

This guy's question and his response to me asking whether the meter was expired was so out of line that Avvo removed the question he asked and his thread. I mean, we're talking about a parking ticket for what, $25.00? He told us everything except whether the meter was expired, so I asked, because it was relevant to the way the case could be handled in court, if he in fact wanted to go to court to save $25.00. Like I said, his demeanor in his responses was so out of line that Avvo removed the Q & A.

Case Dismissed!

Palumbo and Associates are truly the best out there. They took care of a ticket for me that I got several years ago. They stayed on top of it and were on top of all the notifications I was getting from the courts before I even got them! At the end of the day, CASE DISMISSED! No points, no increase i...n my insurance policy, and most importantly justice was served. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Palumbo and Associates.

Traffic case

When my teen age grandson received 2 traffic violations, I was very panic stricken. From his description of the events , I felt that a not guilty plea was in order. I am a senior citizen with a number of serious medical issues. I depend on my grandson to provide assistance with medical appointme...nts and shopping. He lives with me and has never been in trouble. His mother recommended that I contact Michael Palumbo. I was hesitant due to limited financial resources. However, his mother’s successful resolution of a case with this firm convinced me to contact the firm. This week the tickets were dismissed. I cannot say enough good things about my dealings with Michael Palumbo and his firm. Communication was outstanding. Updates and contacts were carried out instantaneously. Fees were clearly defined and were very fair. My fears about exorbitant fees were totally unfounded. This was a stressful event in our lives but thanks to the support I received it turned into a positive experience. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Was going to hire

I talked with this Lawyer on the phone. He was very rude and yelling at me, while I was trying to tell him my situation. He didn't want to hear about what I wanted him to do for me. He told me he was going to do this, this and this. What he was telling me , was not what I wanted to do. This guy would...n't let me get a word in edgewise. He continued yelling at me during our first ever conversation, so I raised my voice over him trying to get my point across, and he hung up on me. This guy, is not a guy I would ever. recommend. TERRIBLE

What's terrible is people who have never even hired my office leaving a review and essentially complaining that I personally provided them with a free phone consultation. Virtually everyone that calls my office gets ME. Not some underling - ME. This means that I talk to DOZENS of people daily. I am happy to give free legal advice, but I don't have the time to listen to a person's stream of consciousness / woe is me story. I obtain the salient facts and then advise on what I can and can't do based on my over 20 years of experience practicing law. If after explaining what can and can't be done the caller wants to complain about how unfair the system is, I am not a therapist and don't have time to listen to what I cannot address. I did not yell at whomever this person is. I did what I always do - once I have given the FREE LEGAL ADVICE I tell them that if they want to continue the conversation I need to charge them for a verbal consultation. This is what this kind of person gets angry about, and then lashes out on review sites. But hey, don't take my word for it. If you have a legal problem, call my office and judge for yourself my demeanor and attitude. I consult with everyone that calls my office, and would love to talk to you about your case.
